If I only have a public key string and a private key string written on a sheet of paper. How do I use those in bitcoin-qt?

If this can be added to bitcoin-qt, will it eventually show me how much findsfunds that private/public key has when the block chain is synchronisedsynchronized on my computer?

I understand this action will cause the cold private key to become a hot private key.
